Deflated, BELATED, Birthday!

Did I miss the party?? I've been meaning to make this card for awhile, not only did I have the idea for it, but I also NEED a few right now! oops! But once you're late in sending the card, well, there's no longer a huge urgency to sit down and make it, right? You're already late!!! I thought it would be really fun to make the balloons down low like those sad, helium ones "the day after" the big bash. What do you think?? (Don't forget to add the blush to his cheek, 'cause you know, he's really embarrassed!)

This is Target dollar spot DP, isn't it just so bright and cheerful? (Maybe the recipient will be so cheered by it and forget I forgot!) And, I really like the look of him extending off the edges of his focal point mat, makes it extra-hippy!

TIP: If you're tying a ribbon around a piece of patterned DP that has flowers or spots/dots, place your knot or bow directly over the center of the spot or flower, really brings your attention there and make it look like you have some huge embellishment of button behind it! Bullseye! ;)

About Me

I am a stamp illustrator, author and Senior Design Team Member for Gina K Designs and a WAHM of two terrific boys. I've been stamping and creating cards and other papercrafts for 12 years, and was one of the Splitcoast Original Dirty Dozen Team (melmel). My first book of stamping tutorials came out in January 2012 and the second in May 2013. God has blessed me beyond measure with opportunities to use my gifts and a loving husband who supports my work and art. I pray you find inspiration in the creations and stories I post here!
